*** "Movie Night" ***
Once a year we highlight a movie we feel is significant to our understanding of life. This year it is:"Kundalini: Evolution is Coiled Within You..."
Starring: Pandit Gopi Krishna (1903 - 1984) was a yogi, teacher, mystic, social reformer, and writer. He worked tirelessly towards the promotion of scientific research into the link between Kundalini and consciousness.
Barbara Harris Whitfield is a psych researcher, therapist, near-death experiencer and author of six books.
Lawrence Edwards, Ph.D., LMHC, BCIAC EEG Fellow is trained in meditation, mindfulness and Kundalini yoga, as well as his clinical training in transpersonal psychotherapy, biofeedback, neurofeedback and hypnotherapy.
Chrism is a native of California . He travels the country awakening the Kundalini in groups of people safely.
Paul Pond, Ph.D., Director of Research for ICR, has a doctorate in physics and has been involved in Kundalini experience and research for more than 35 years.:
It is self evident that all men are created equal, yet some perform extraordinary achievements and others live a life of emptiness never reaching their full potential. There is a force that everyone is entitled to, that can bring the fulfillment his or her lives desire. That evolutionary force is Kundalini. Beyond science, beyond religion; Kundalini is the SOURCE of the FORCE. This untapped powerful resource available for centuries within every human body is still unexplained, mysterious and kept secret till today.
All humans have this powerful resource available within them called ‘Kundalini”, which is an energy that lies dormant most of the time at the base of the spine. Activating and awakening this force leads to an higher consciousness and brings the true nature of a person. It thus brings peace and harmony in his/her life. However, there are many pitfalls and challenges during the process of unlocking this powerful resource as this knowledge has been kept a secret for thousands of years.
This documentary film is an attempt to bring forth this ancient knowledge of resource that everyone is entitled to. It is now time for us to attune with this force within us and find our true nature to live a purposeful life with an evolution and understanding of higher consciousness within each individual. This documentary depicts the ancient knowledge of Kundalini and stories of real people of today who have unlocked this supreme energetic force some of which are Near-Death Experiencers.

We are flying Jessica in special from California, You will fall in love with her incredibly energetic presence -- particularly when she relates her NDE. In 1983 at the age of twenty-seven. As a passenger in a car that crashed at accelerating speed, she sustained massive injuries. The driver walked away from the accident, but the impact on her side of the car crushed her face beyond recognition. The bones in her feet were shattered and her vertebrae suffered multiple fractures. Jessica had lost mobility and was given a prognosis of sustained disfigurement and nerve damage.
Jessica will share her NDE which continues to inspire audiences twenty years later. She has been on panel discussions with Dr. Raymond Moody, Dannion Brinkley, Ram Dass, and other experts on the field of death and back. She is a co-author with Stephen Covey, John Gray, Ken Blanchard, Brian Tracy, and Les Brown. Jessica has proven it is possible to overcome challenges and live your dreams.
Author of three books and numerous published articles, enjoy Jessica's life-changing message of hope, passion, and how to face one's challenges ... as well as understand how a NDE can help and inspire other people's lives.

Tonight we are going to hear the amazing personal transformaton of
Pastor Howard Storm
Born in a suburb in Massachusetts, Pastor Storm is a former art professor and chairman of the art department at the Northern Kentucky University, best known as the author of the book My Descent into Death about his near-death experience (NDE).
Storm an avowed atheist, a self-described arrogant materialist, was awaiting emergency surgery when he realized he was at death's door. He found himself torturously dragged to excruciating realms of darkness. A voice told him "Pray to God!" Then he was finally drawn away into the light & realms of heaven, where he met angelic beings as well as the God of Creation who sent him back with a profound message of love and life.
Howard Storm is presently Pastor of the Covington United Church of Christ in Covington, Ohio. His art also transformed to reflect this new perspective. You can find more about Pastor Storm's art on his website.
